Tour of Theaters in New Haven, CT
Theater in New Haven – one of the areas we serve when it comes to buying or selling a home.
A vacant stage, lighted only by a single bulb and awaiting the actors who will enthrall and entertain, the empty seats soon to be filled by audiences who will lose themselves in the drama and merriment which will follow. Such is the anticipation that is live, professional theater, and it is how we have chosen to depict three gems of New Haven:
The Yale Repertory Theatre, Long Wharf Theatre and The Shubert Theater. Picture yourself there, peruse the performance schedules and visit all three. We’re lucky to have them. And now, house lights low. Curtain up. We’re about to begin.

Tour of Westville (New Haven) Connecticut
Westville – a neighborhood of the City of New Haven, Ct., an area Pearce Real Estate serves for buying or selling a home.
Westville is a great neighborhood to call home. Diverse, cultural, educated, community-minded are words residents use to describe this enclave. Located in the northwest corner of New Haven, Old Westville Village, designated an historical landmark, is boarded by the Yale Bowl and University-owned playing fields, the Connecticut Tennis Center where world class talent plays every August, Edgewood Park with walking trails and waterways and its own public basketball and tennis courts, Forest Road and a section of Whalley Avenue which is home to the area’s businesses, numerous cafes, bistros and restaurants such as Lena, Stone Hearth, Bella’s, and House of Chao; critically-acclaimed art galleries including the Gabriel deSilva’s Frame Shop and Kehler Liddell ; antique shops; and the famous Lyric Hall Theater, venue for lively music and scores of talented visual and performing artists.
Residential streets south of the bustling center are lush with mature trees, green lawns and large, stately homes which reflect the architectural styles of early to mid 20th century America. Take a morning run or evening stroll, as many residents do, down McKinley and Alston Avenues or on upper Chapel Street and marvel at the colonial, Tudor, bungalow, art and craft, and even Spanish-revival styles. Walk the dog or wheel the baby in the carriage to the Yale Bowl via tree-lined Cleveland Road, where one side abuts the open polo fields. Apartments and condos, built in the style of the surrounding architecture, fit right in on Fountain Street close to the commercial area. The population is as varied as the architecture: young, professional couples with children; hip artistic types; older “Villagers” who raised their families there and still enjoy the communal ambiance of the area; doctors, lawyers and bio-tech executives who drive the short distance to their workplaces in downtown New Haven. Neighbors know each other and gather together for community events such as the annual Spring ArtWalk, block watch meetings, legislative hearings on traffic control or fund raising drives. At Christmas, carolers with fire-lit lanterns walk the streets and sing in return for freshly baked goodies; at Halloween, children and their parents go door to welcoming door with their increasing heavy bags of treats.
Westville is home to two distinguished elementary (kindergarten through 7) magnet schools and the Hopkins School, a private institution founded in 1660, for grades 7 through 12. It is close to Southern Connecticut State University, the University of New Haven, and, of course, Yale University. It’s a quick drive for access to Interstates 91 and 95, as well as the Merritt Parkway. Area churches (including one in the Korean language) and synagogues, all within walking distance, schedule events for children and seniors. Community events and numerous reading programs for children are held at Mitchell Library (including classes by Literacy Volunteers of New Haven). The Library’s adjacent Beecher Park is the summer setting for Monday evening picnics and concerts with beautiful West Rock as the backdrop. The best gathering of residents is on Sunday mornings when the cafes are filled with those who brunch and then visit the area’s Farmer’s Market held at Edgewood Park for local produce and artisan wares.
Visit Westville soon. There’s a lot to like.

Connecticut Post Mall - Raw & Real Retail
This is our walkthrough of the Connecticut Post Mall (commonly referred to as CT Post Mall) in Milford, CT from January 1, 2019. This is a big thriving mall in southern Connecticut, at the intersection of I-95 and Route 1. As such, it was a pretty nice mall, with the exception of the overly large clerestory windows running the perimeter of the mall, halfway blinding us the entire time we were walking the mall. It is currently home to the newest Boscov's in the chain, but not for long, as Providence Place is opening a Boscov's at the end of September 2019. It felt pretty good walking around this mall.

Here is some info from Wikipedia.
The Connecticut Post Mall (previously named the Connecticut Post Shopping Center and Westfield Connecticut Post) is a three-story shopping mall, located on the Boston Post Road (Route 1) in Milford, Connecticut. It is currently the largest mall in the state of Connecticut and is partially owned and operated by Centennial Properties. The mall currently houses over 215 retail stores. The anchor stores are Boscov's, Dave & Buster's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Macy's, and Target with one vacant anchor last occupied by Sears. The mall also features a 14 screen Cinemark (formerly Rave Cinemas), including an IMAX theater.
The original, open-air mall was built by Sol Atlas and opened in 1960, anchored by a W. & J. Sloane furniture store and a Stop & Shop supermarket at opposite ends. In 1962, the sixth branch of the Alexander's department store chain opened. Following an early fire at the west end of the mall, a Caldor discount store was built as the new anchor.
In 1981, the mall was enclosed. The mall underwent a renovation in 1990 which added the Skyview Cafe food court, and lost anchor Alexander's. On August 7, 1991, JCPenney opened in the former Alexander's space. G. Fox was added in 1991 and was rebranded as Filene's in 1993. Caldor closed on May 15, 1999 and was later demolished. Stop & Shop relocated to a freestanding store sometime in the late 1990s and was demolished for Sears which opened on April 1, 2000.
The Mall strongly opposed the proposed rival New Haven Galleria mall at Long Wharf, filing over 15 lawsuits.
A $118 million 480,000-square-foot expansion project took place in 2005–06, adding an additional level of parking, a 75,000-square-foot third floor to Filene's which was later rebranded as Macy's in 2006, a large extension to the building with a 55,000-square-foot movie theater (Connecticut Post 14, replacing the Milford Fourplex, previously located in an adjacent building. Was Cinema De Lux, later a Rave Cinemas, now a Cinemark), a new food court, and two more anchors, Dick's Sporting Goods and Target on the site of the former Caldor. In December 2015, Westfield sold Connecticut Post in a $1.1 billion deal involving 5 malls.
On March 17, 2017, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing as part of a plan close 138 stores nationwide. The store closed on July 31, 2017. On January 11, 2018, it was announced that Boscov's would be opening in the former JCPenney space on October 6, 2018. On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would also be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide. The store closed in January 2019. It is unknown what will replace that space. On November 7, 2018, Dave & Buster's opened in the space that was formally Steve & Barry's and buybuy BABY.
